Well this is not new news, but i doubt youll be totally familiar with the material............ But a satelite (infra red ) Which we have launched way back in the late eighties,has shown a mass large enough to effect our companion planets orbits...lies outside of the solar system..... They discovered this in 1988,AND IT WAS NEWS FOR ONLY A SHORT FLASH...YET IT MAY BECOME THE NEWS OF THE CENTURY YET..... This infra red emitting companion to our own sun may well be a red dwarf star....(a failed star....one which did not ignite....and went out...mssive but not massive enough to sustain its burn.... The position of this mass in space at this moment may be of interest to us...even if just to guage its spacial movements and predict its path..... There is some speculation that its orbit is eliptical,and it will move closer to our orbits with time.... There is little i can dig up on it save to say it is real....anybody else know anything about this? berg ___
